Super 8: Cool outdoor lighting we love
With warmer weather (hopefully) on the horizon, we're deep in planning for al fresco drinks and late-night parties on the patio. Light 'em up with these stylish garden picks.
Having a ball
Set the mood with these genius globe lights – they’re colour-changing, rechargeable AND come with a variety of settings (including a flickering candle mode – romantic). Instant party decor sorted.
From £35
Solar starters
This set of solar powered bulbs from Two Ducks in St John’s are the perfect starter set. There are 10 clear bulbs on the three-metre long set which can be added to a supplement for those who want more.

Cube cool
Hello, Ibiza cocktail lounge vibes! We love a multi-functional piece, and these light-up planters are perfect for giving your patio a little extra zhush. There’s a dimmer, colour rotation and even a strobe function for full-on rave vibes.
£272
Flower power
Not got a green thumb? Fake your florals with these amazing fennel lights from Sparkle Lighting in Bucks – they can run off batteries or solar power (if the British weather is playing ball, obv), and they automatically turn on at dusk for six hours of pretty glow.
£36.95
Watts up
These cool Edison bulbs from The Worm That Turned in Nottingham are just the thing to give your garden a little industrial edge – just pop ’em under a parasol or pergoda and you’ve got the perfect lighting for your evening Aperol Spritz.
£39.95
Drop in
It might look like something you’d spot at the Tate Modern, but this statuesque piece is actually a clever water drop light. Standing at 82cm tall, it’s ideal for making a statement in your garden – why not get two for either side of your doors? You’ll feel like you’re making a grand entrance every time you step outs.
£197.99
On the go
How cute is this Ara To Go lamp from Nordlux? It’s fully portable, so you can move it around your table, garden or decking as you see fit (great for doing a little reading – or, er, drinking – by dusk).
£79.96
Fab festoon
Bare bulbs not your thing? This string of festoon lights from Cox & Cox comes with super sleek, smoke grey fluted shades, which means they look equally great inside as out. We love a bit of versatility at Muddy.
